Jaeger LeCoultre 260.1.86 Reverso 1990s

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ref. 260.1.86 – The Polo Icon in Yellow Gold (1990s) Few watches have a story as compelling as the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. Introduced in 1931, its ingenious reversible case was developed at the request of British polo players, who needed a watch capable of withstanding the rigors of the sport. By simply flipping the case, the delicate crystal and dial were protected during play—an elegant engineering solution that would become one of the most recognizable designs in watchmaking history. This Ref. 260.1.86 from the 1990s beautifully preserves that original spirit. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, it combines the unmistakable Art Deco proportions of the Reverso with a flawless two-tone silver dial, elegant blued-style hands, and the clean, architectural lines that have defined the model for nearly a century. Inside beats the manually wound Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal. 846, an in-house movement specifically designed for the Reverso. Slim, reliable, and beautifully engineered, it perfectly complements the watch's elegant proportions while preserving its remarkably thin profile. Timeless, mechanically refined, and instantly recognizable, the Reverso Ref. 260.1.86 is a true icon of twentieth-century watch design—a dress watch born from sport, and one that remains as relevant today as when it was first conceived. - wrist size in our picture is 18cm circumference - DIAL: original never touched silver two tone dial in flawless condition original hands and crown STRAP & BUCKLE: black aftermarket leather strap fitting up to 20 cm wrist size / 2 mm thick yellow gold plated aftermarket buckle CASE: excellent overall condition, showing minor traces of use 3- body 18k yellow gold case with screw-down case back 20 mm (without crown) / 32.5 mm (lug-to-lug) / 14 mm (between lugs) / 7mm thick Year: 1990s Reference: 260.1.86 total weight: 36 g MOVEMENT: Jaeger LeCoultre Cal. 846 - manual wind 17 jewels, 21600 A/h, 42 hours power reserve professionally serviced 07/2026 +15 sec/d / 310° BOX & PAPERS: GOLDAMMER box GOLDAMMER certificate of authenticity & service documentation card
